Substitute Joselu scored within four
minutes of coming on to earn Newcastle
United a draw against bottom side
Swansea City.
The visitors, who were denied a first-half
penalty when Mohamed Diame appeared
to handle the ball, took the lead through
Jordan Ayew's header after Karl Darlow
had parried his first effort.
But Newcastle equalised eight minutes
later when Ayoze Perez's deflected shot
fell for Joselu and he shot through the
legs of Alfie Mawson and into the net.
Swansea are now four points behind
17th-placed Bournemouth, while
Newcastle are now only three points
above the relegation zone in 14th.
The Swans nearly grabbed a dramatic
winner in injury time but Wilfried Bony's
shot was cleared off the goalline by
Newcastle's DeAndre Yedlin.
Swansea left angry at penalty decision
Swansea will be disappointed that they
did not record what would have been
only their fifth Premier League win of a
difficult season.
Carlos Carvalhal has now taken four
points from his opening three league
matches in charge since replacing the
sacked Paul Clement in December and
also gained an FA Cup third-round replay
against Championship leaders Wolves.
However, the Portuguese manager will
be unhappy with a controversial decision
in an uneventful first-half as Diame
appeared to move his arm towards the
ball after Mike van der Hoorn had flicked
the ball towards goal.
Swansea have struggled for goals all
season but took the lead on the hour
when Ayew headed at goal following Van
der Hoorn's fine cross from the right
flank.
Newcastle goalkeeper Darlow produced
a one-handed save to parry Ayew's first
header, but the Ghanaian pounced from
the rebound to score his third goal in
five league matches.
Substitute Bony has only scored twice
since rejoining the club in a £12m move
from Manchester City, but had a chance
to win it only to see his shot in the 93rd
minute hacked off the line by Yedlin.

Watford
came from
2-0 down
to earn a
draw with
Southampton but the Saints felt they had
been robbed of the victory by what they
saw as a clear late handball goal from
Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The Southampton players ended up
surrounding the referee after Doucoure's
90th-minute leveller. He had stooped to
meet Troy Deeney's headed pass but the
ball appeared to come off his hand to beat
Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.
James Ward-Prowse had earlier struck
twice in the first half, in the 20th and
44th minutes, as Southampton looked set
to end their dismal nine-match winless
streak.
Yet lacklustre Watford brought on their
totem, Deeney, and roused themselves in
the second half with Andre Gray heading
home in the 58th minute before the late
drama surrounding the home side's
equaliser.

Are you a Top Loader? Strategist?
Maverick? Trooper? Or maybe a
Chiller?
Things have changed for football fans. It
used to be that only the team you
supported had the power to ruin your
weekend.
Not anymore. These days, fantasy
football allows you to spread that
burden around the Premier League, so
that you can feel disappointment over
and over again.
When going head-to-head with your
mates, you negotiate a minefield of
decision-making every week in the
pursuit of pride, bragging rights, and – in
some cases – a decent financial windfall.
Who to pick? Who to captain? When to
use that New Year wildcard?
Long story short, we think there are five
types of fantasy football managers.
But which category do you fall into and
what do your fantasy football tactics says
about you? Read the descriptions then

MANCHESTER -- Jose Mourinho says he
only has "contempt" for his war of words
with Antonio Conte after two weeks of
trading insults with the Chelsea boss.
The Manchester United manager said he
did not need to "act like a clown" on the
touchline, prompting Conte to hit back
by claiming Mourinho could be suffering
from "senile dementia" having
"forgotten his past."
In response, Mourinho referenced
Conte's four-month ban for failing to
report match fixing in 2012 -- a
punishment that was ultimately
rescinded in 2016 -- before the Italian
struck back by branding Mourinho "fake"
and a "small man."
Mourinho told a news conference on
Friday: "I think when a person insults
another, you can expect a response.
"Or you can expect contempt, silence.
"The first time he insulted me I had a
response, a response that I know that
touched the point where he really feels
hurt.
"Then he insulted me for a second time,
but now I change, and now contempt
and for me, contempt means end of the
story."
Mourinho was speaking after returning
from a five-day trip to Dubai with the
squad ahead of Monday night's Premier
League clash with Stoke City at Old
Trafford.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not part of the
group that travelled to the UAE as he
continues his recovery from a knee
injury.
The 36-year-old has missed the last
three games and is not expected back in
training until the end of January at the
earliest.
Mourinho added: "Zlatan is injured or is
not totally happy with his condition.
"He fought like a tiger, like he likes to
say, to be back, which he did. He was
starting having minutes here and there
and had a start and had 60 minutes in
one game, start another one and had 45
and he was not happy with his feelings.
"He consulted other doctors, other
opinions and we all make the decision to
stop, treatment, and when [he's] feeling
really good come back to the work.
"The date for him to be back to training
with the team was around end of
January, beginning of February, so let's
hope his feelings are better and we have
him with us as soon as possible."

Antonio Conte said on Friday he was
unable to give any guarantees over his
future at Chelsea , adding that “
everything is possible ” as speculation
over his position at the club persists.
The Italian won the Premier League last
season in his first year as head coach at
the Blues, who play former title winners
Leicester on Saturday.
Conte signed an improved contract last
summer but it was not an extension to
his deal, which still expires in June 2019
and there has been continued
speculation over his position at Stamford
Bridge.
The former Juventus and Italy boss,
whose side are third in the table, said
that goes with the territory of working at
Chelsea and does not happen at other
clubs.
“I have another year of (my ) contract
with this club ,” he said . “ But as you
know very well everything is possible .
In one moment you stay here , in
another moment another person
replaces you in your job . ”
Asked if he would extend his contract
with Chelsea, Conte added : “In this
case , I think the club has to decide to
send me away.”
Conte’s position has been the subject of
speculation over a rumoured frustration
regarding transfers.
“For the manager of this club it ’ s
normal to have this type of situation ,
also if you won last season the league
and you reached the final in the FA Cup,
” he said. “ This is the history of this club
for the manager.
“I have a lot of experience to deal with
this type of situation . ( But) there is
something strange if, after the first game
we lost against Burnley , the press
pushed quickly to sack me for another
coach . I think in other clubs this doesn
’t happen .”
Conte insisted he is happy at Chelsea,
will continue to work as a professional
and will “never give up ”.

pokemon game shares much in common with its handheld predecessors: The game offers Pokemon to catch, items to use and monsters to battle. But each of these offer some unique differences from the games Pokemon fans grew up with, perhaps none more so than gym battles.

In case you missed it: Pokemon Mega Fest went about as poorly as it could have. Visitors who traveled from far and wide spent hours in the blistering sun, unable to play the game due to massive bugs and server errors. No one felt the heat more than Instantfuns, the game’s developer, which was shocked by just how much of a disaster the event was.

WHICH Pokemon SHOULD I USE?

“Even when attendees were experiencing issues accessing the game itself, other applications like YouTube worked just fine — which indicated the issues were outside of Verizon's control, like an issue with the game's server itself,” a Verizon spokesperson said.

“A more protracted problem was caused by oversaturation of the mobile data networks of some network providers,” Hanke explained. “This caused many attendees to be unable to access Pokemon GO or other Internet services. Network congestion also led to a login issue which affected some users able [sic] to access the Internet.”

Two Pokemon Mega players take down a legendary in one impressive fight.

“Just know that the staff here are pretty horrified with the results, so they want to make good as fast as possible,” the spokesperson told us, just before Instantfuns put out a much softer official apology on its website.

Did you know you can take videos with Snapchat? I didn’t. It took me a sec to even get the lens going, a process I’m still having trouble with. Once I figured it out, though, I understood the simple magic of this very, online pokemon games, very simple app. I looked like Pikachu! My eyes were so big! My cheeks were so colorful! I looked like Pikachu!

Dedicated Pokemon game players managed to capture Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres during the Pokemon’s weeklong stints at the gym, while Lugia remains available. The caveat, of course, is that those dedicated Pokemon players had to have access to gyms, where Raid Battles are held. That’s not always possible for Pokemon players in more isolated locations, meaning many fans had little chance to catch the coveted monsters.

REAL MADRID fans have been blasted by
La Liga for reportedly calling Lionel
Messi 're ed' and Gerard Pique an
'a hole'.
These chants came about during Barca's
3-0 demolition of their bitter rivals in
December at the Bernabeu.
In the Spanish League's disciplinary issue
report for matchdays 17 and 18 they
focused on specific chanting during last
year's El Clasico.
The report states that in the 64th
minute around 1,000 home fans situated
in the Bernabeu's north stand chanted
"Messi, Messi, re ed" for 10
seconds.
Later in the match, other Galacticos
supporters aimed their attentions at
Spaniard Gerard Pique.
They chanted: "Pique, you a hole,
Spain is your country."
Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and full-back
Aleix Vidal all got on the scoresheet as
Barca humiliated Madrid in their own
home.
After their 3-0 win over Levante on
Sunday, the Catalans lead La Liga by
nine points, with Atletico Madrid in
second.
Barcelona are a massive 16 points ahead
of Real as they continue to dominate the
league this year - and will only be
boosted by the signing of Philippe
Coutinho from Liverpool.
Real have a chance to claw back some
ground with their game against Villarreal
at home on Saturday.
